    I haven't watched your channel before. I'm pleased you immediately started explaining what you saw to work on with the job and then what equipment you were going to work with. You had a before and after photo at the start and it was a startle to realize that was such an extreme change that that was the result. Design ideas can be lost over time with deterioration. That was quite a renovation. Do I see roofs and walls that could do with some further work?

    Kennith. Yes, my drive is blocked paved and sloping, I have had it re-sanded after cleaning but never again.
    The first time it rained the sand washed out down the drive and all over the pavement and road. I took me
    days sweeping it and hosing it and the neighbours weren’t very happy either because they had to hose it as
    well from outside their houses. What a nightmare!

    I’m not a powerwashing professional. So I freely admit that I don’t watch jet washing videos to learn the details of a job or equipment. Actually, I watch these types of videos because I find them relaxing and oddly satisfying. But this channel is not relaxing or oddly satisfying because there is so much talking, so much info about equipment, etc. and I have to do so much fast forwarding to get to the cleaning bits. So clearly I’m not the target audience for this channel so I’ll be on my way. Cheers

  • @Dean-does-Stuff-81
    @Dean-does-Stuff-81 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I use 120 oC when cleaning. This massively reduces the need for that extremely strong SH mix. I would then apply a soft wash solution with the SH at around 2 to 4 % and leave it down to do its job over the next hour or even 2. but I dont need to wash down again, reducing the loss of sand further. Just make sure you wash any of the mix off the house or any wood or grass etc. Then I would typically return on another day to sand in. But basically the results are the same. The hot water really speeds up the cleaning process and gets nearly all the black spots out with out the need for chems. It also means that i can dial the pressure down for delicate substrates. The next thing i would spend my money on is a hot system from Rutland pumps. Good work!!!

    Unbelievable results, so you just rinse to drain on the road? Wondering how that works with a chemical?

    • @aemackintosh
      @aemackintosh  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, with plenty of water. Using it with surfactant means you use far less chemical than you would otherwise.😃👍🏼

      It’s an evolution pressure washer, 3000psi 21litres per minute. I get chemical from bonnymans.co.uk 😃👍🏼

    Another great video leaning loads for you. In the process of setting up just got the Pro 20 x from spinaclean with a 20 inch FSC and turbo upgrade. Can I ask with the hypo did you use it neat or water it down if so what ratio did you use please and do you need a license to use it sorry new to the trade thanks again love your channel keep up the good work Ash 👏👍💯

    • @aemackintosh
      @aemackintosh  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’m glad you find the channel useful. I mix the hypo about 50/50 with water which is quite a strong mix. Sometimes you might only need a 1/4 mix.😃👍🏼

    I have a 500 square meter driveway how many bags of sand do u think it will use ?

    • @aemackintosh
      @aemackintosh  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It depends on the blocks, how far apart they are and how much of the sand you rinse away in the cleaning process. I suppose it could easily be 5/6 bags?👍🏼

      @donkeyworkltd2087 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have been thinking about using a wheelie bin, I am not doing much pressure washing at the moment so don't want to spend much. At the moment I use a watering can or a sprayer to put the hypo down but was thinking of mixing it in the bin and spraying on with the pressure cleaner with the nozzle open giving a wide low pressure spray. Ant thoughts on that Ashley.

    If the client has no pets or young kids around you don’t really need to fully rinse.
    With large gapped block paving I usually recommend a jointing compound, brush it in wet and it sets solid so no weeds.
    Yes a bit more expensive but that’s the customers call.
    Then you only have to soft wash the drive in future.
    Good video again Ashley.

    A snow foam may work as well as a cheap alternative . just rinse it all the chem on the metal parts off after or throw in a bucket of cold water ( 15 - 20 $ on ebay ) awsome job . The key factor is price... the price has to be priced good . It has to be worthwhile ( thats aimed at viewers not Mr A. E M )
